(a) Morphological diagram of the simulated capillary network for different values of the parameter δ and ξ, setting λ = 1, η = 0.032 in a domain with dimensionless length and height equal to 0.32 and the interface initially placed in x_Σ = 0.08. The value of c₀ changes in order to keep constant the initial sprout size. (b) Morphological diagram of the simulated capillary morphology for different dimension of the domain of simulation (H), setting λ = 1, η = 0.032 and ξ = 10. The interface is placed at distance H/4 from the left-side of the domain and c₀ is chosen in order to keep constant the ratio between the initial sprout size and the domain dimension H. At the bottom of each snapshot we reported the dimensionless time at which it was taken.
